This guy is crazy fun! Here is what he has been up to the last few nights...

A Zipline in the living room,
Switched our stocking with our underwear..(OMG! He was in big trouble for that one),
Hiding in the garland,
Decorated the living room and finally he took a shower after being with us for a couple weeks,
Some how he still smells like marshmellows and peppermints...

Thanks to pinterest and all you sharing crafties out there...We have a Christmas book Advent calendar this year, a felt Christmas tree for the kids to decorate and re-decorate..it's great for the little bitties that come over...takes their attention away from the real tree with real ornaments. And lastly for today we have our melty snowman cookies we made for some friends. Love Christmas Time!...and love Pinterest!

Donuts and a note of apology from Elfis to make up for his shenanigans from the past few nights. Curious where he got the small box and the even smaller donuts - I guess only an elf knows his secrets.﻿

The weekend after Thanksgiving can only mean one thing for our household; dragging out all the Christmas decorations and putting the children to work - now if I could only get them to climb the ladder and hang the outside lights up; maybe next year.﻿

It's simple. You get a shoe box, you pick your age group and you fill the box. It was a good way to replace the "I want" in our house for a bit. It was fun for the kids and its a great opportunity to teach the them to have a giving heart. The US last year gave something like 85 MILLION boxes...that's AwEsOmE!
